Abstract excerpt
The influence of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations on human disease has been extensively studied, but the impact of mutations within the adaptive range is debated. We studied males from lines of Drosophila melanogaster that have a highly standardized nuclear genome but different mtDNA, at two ages. We measured mitochondrial respiration on permeabilized muscle fibers, hydrogen peroxide production of isolated...
